Face On The News

Intro: C  Csus4  C  Cadd9  C

C        Em/B          Am
I had a fortress all pristine and blue
         F                       C
And the doorways were painted in red
    C            Em/B     Am
And each tiny window reflections of you
        F                   C
And the only way out was my head
G                                     C         Em/B        F
Can you imagine my misunderstanding I relied on relics and tombs
    C                        F            G           C
And no one said nothing till we saw your face on the news

C          Em/B            Am
I can make mountains where nothing there stands
    F               C
And I can make many ado
C                Em/B        Am
Every stone is a missed altercation
      F                 C
Still every height is a view
G                                            C            Em/B         F
I’ve stood in protest thorns against roses I don’t mind intentions are true
    C                        F            G          C
And no one said nothing till we saw your face on the news

G
I had it all figured out
                           C
I was right and they were wrong
  Am
I looked for the difference
 F                             Dm     F    G
And I found the difference was gone

C          Em/B        Am
Over the decades and between the lines
F                    C
Nothing has left me alone
C           Em/B        Am
I know the time passes grows up and trespasses
     F                         C
And we’ve all got fears of our own
G                                            C         Em/B   F
No need to ration a source of compassion and anything less I refuse
       C                        F            G          C
‘Cause no one said nothing till we saw your face on the news
